After reading these post. I don't think to many people are happy with the new patch.
Any thoughts on this GGG?

Do you not know what "drop" means? Or are you thinking that they made Vaal orbs more potent to compensate?
Making vaal orbs more potent is totally unnecessary.

All that's changed is the chance of finding a Vaal orb. If they changed it's chances they would have posted that in the notes as well.

It's speculation to say people leave significantly due to nerfs. If things WEREN'T nerfed I'd say it's very likely even more people would be leaving; people want to be playing a balanced game.

What the heck is up with all these whiners about the Smoke mine change?

I've never used smoke mine on my summoner and have always been managing just fine.

Your in ambush, don't tell people to l2p

Their is a big differance between trying to compete in the ladder ranking's and playing casual, Your summoner i'm sure is fine for playing casual.

Who comes up with these ideas when making patch updates??! It's honestly hard to tell if it's the 2% of players complaining "this is op" or GGG developers that dont play their own game.

- Smoke mine nerf, even though I've never used it, I can clearly understand why guys are pissed since minions are constantly getting stuck when indoors. Smoke mine is supposed to teleport the player to make an escape and clearly minions are part of the player.

- Evangelist nerf is a double edge sword. Good for non summoners and solo players but bad for summoners that depend on the needed defenses provided since items and skill tree mods are becoming less viable for builds every new patch.

- Vaal orb drop rate reduction was uncalled for. Besides the fact that they barely drop as it is, those orbs were the best way for people to craft their own gears (or gamble) without having to spend hours trying to trade with other players and argue down currency values let alone items.

- Checkpoints....ABOUT TIME!!! This is well needed for many of us that get random disconnects from the game, while being in the middle of a area trying to find a waypoint. Lag and desync makes this change a blessing.


Other than rogue exiles using vaal skills(which damn well wont require them to "charge" up the souls needed.) the rest of the patch seems fine. but I got the feeling that like most buffs there will be a nerf to the same things within 1 or 2 patches later which defeats the purpose. Chris and other GGG staff, please take a vote / tally from actual players about skills / items BEFORE nerfing them.

These patches turn fun into frustration with trying to make viable builds without following some random guy's "guide" or whatever is popular at the time.

Put very well
